People used to share things like this in The Fort all the time, but
these days folks seldom do.
I have been having an e-mail conversation about what being a
boylover means to me with one of the new boys in my life. Something
happened yesterday that is a perfect illustration of what it means to
me and how I deal with it. I shared this with him and I wanted to
share it with you too as this is something that probably happens to
all of us, but we don't talk about it. I wanted to see if others had
similar experiences.
I was doing some grocery shopping yesterday at Walmart. I was in an
aisle and there was a lot of congestion. As I waited I rolled up
behind a mom and her (probably) four year old son. He was a
beautiful little fellow with a bored expression on his face, it was
bordering on melancholy. Mom was preoccupied and he was sort of
looking around for something of interest to stimulate him. I was
right in front of him on the other side of my cart. I waited until
he looked at me, which he eventually did, and I gave him my
biggest, broadest boysmile. It's that unique smile that I reserve only
for boys, it sort of says 'you're special' to the boy with whom I
share it. He was looking at me and the smile registered on his
face, I could see him begin to understand that I was paying
attention to HIM. As this realization occurred he responded with
the warmest, most genuine, happy expression I've ever seen. His
little face lit up! And the joy in his smile literally made my
heart jump. It was not only the reaction I'd hoped for, it went
beyond that. In that moment we connected. His Mom, at this point,
got behind her cart (they call them buggies down here) and took off
in the general direction I was heading. He immediately went from
one side to the other to look around her and maintain eye contact with
me. I gave him a little wave and began to follow them now that the way
was open. He grinned and waved back, clearly enjoying having a
playmate. As I reached the intersection a cart came from left to right
at speed and I had to wait to follow. Once I cleared the perpendicular
aisle, I lost track of my buddy. Then I saw him off to my right and
ahead of me. He was craning his body to keep me in sight. They
passed a display rack in the middle of one of the wide aisles and
he lifted up to look over so he could see me. He and his Mom were
now going the exact wrong way from where I needed to go. I debated
shadowing them for a bit longer, but decided that it would be the
wrong thing to do. I caught one last glimpse of him as I turned
left and I lifted my hand to wave and he was gone. I continued to
keep an eye out for him as I completed my shopping, but I didn't
see him. I still had a warm feeling from the sweet expression on
his face. I had made him feel good for a moment and he made my day.
Isn't it amazing what a simple smile can do? Please share your boy
moments.
Stay Safe,
Doc
